APPLICATION 03 · VISION MARKING

Vision-guided UDI Laser Marking

Permanent identification, vision compensation, code reading and linked production data

This application covers UDI, Data Matrix and fine-character marking on medical devices and small precision parts, connecting vision, material response, contrast and code verification.

VerifyContrast, position, read grade and data
Media & Evidence

Assess the part before selecting equipment

The information is organized around the part, material, target and validation conditions so the critical test items are clear.

EVIDENCEValidation records

Keep before-and-after photos, part conditions, system configuration, inspection method and unresolved boundaries so results remain reviewable.

Application Challenges

What makes this application difficult?

Equipment selection must start with the part and quality target, not laser power or a generic process name alone.

01

Material and wavelength

Metal, polymers and coatings respond differently to fiber, MOPA and UV; select by target contrast and heat input.

02

Position and angle compensation

Fixture-free and mixed parts require reliable feature recognition before the mark is corrected.

03

Closed-loop code quality

A code must be verified at the real reading distance and production speed, not only seen by eye.

Verification Workflow

From samples to equipment configuration

Validate feasibility before freezing tooling, motion and automation scope to reduce custom-project delivery risk.

STEP 01

Define code content

Confirm character size, code rules, serialization and data source.

STEP 02

Test material response

Compare fiber, MOPA and UV for color, depth, heat input and speed.

STEP 03

Establish vision datum

Define field of view, lighting, features, angle compensation and exceptions.

STEP 04

Validate traceability

Test reading, duplicate prevention, database and interface logic at takt.

Application FAQ

Questions before the project starts

How do fiber, MOPA and UV compare?

Compare material absorption, target color, character size, heat sensitivity and takt using representative samples.

Can vision eliminate tooling entirely?

Sometimes, but field of view, occlusion, reflectivity, overlap and height variation still require review.

Can the system connect to MES or a code database?

Yes, after code rules, protocol, read verification and exception handling are defined.

Start with Your Sample

Validate your part—do not rely on a generic example

Share material, dimensions, process area, target result, quality criteria and expected output. Aogeo Laser will assess the process before defining tests and equipment.
